Jennifer Mills is a performance artist whose work centers on the personalization and creative dissemination of multiples. By designing systems of creating and distributing original art objects for free or at a low cost, Mills creates a playful parody of the art market, blurring gallery and retail conventions. She caters to brows low and high, and their preferred price points, with paintings and assemblages that are equally inspired by 99 cent stores, newsstand tabloids and contemporary painting.
Mills’ purposefully unpolished aesthetic, combined with her unique selling practices leads viewers to a more personal relationship with her work and her identity as an artist. Mills hopes that this brand of interaction and collaboration between artist and buyer, artwork and viewer, and gallery and collector, will re-imagine the accepted norms and values of the art market.
As a reflection of her practice, Low Middle High features hundreds of separate pieces from the following series, with fluctuating price tags, sometimes as low as one penny. Check out preview images below from the You Could Win Painting Series!, the Tabloid Painting Series, Art Object: Collect Them All!, and Off the Rack.
